AKSHAY KUMAR APPOINTED SWACHCH BHARAT AMBASSADOR IN UTTARAKHAND

National award winner Akshay Kumar, who was appointed as the brand ambassador for the cleanliness campaign in Uttar Pradesh last month, has now been appointed as the Swachch Bharat ambassador in Uttarakhand as well.

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat announced the appointment of Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar as the brand ambassador of the Swachh Bharat Mission in the state.

On completion of his six months in the office on Monday, the CM said, "Kumar has happily agreed to become our brand ambassador for the state's Swachchata Abhiyan." Rawat also added, "He was proud to be the brand ambassador of such a campaign for a state where Chardham is located."

Akshay's recent hit Toilet: Ek Prem Katha showcased the country's problem of open defecation and focused on the importance of building toilets.

When asked whether Akshay will also not turn up, like previous brand ambassadors appointed by the state government, the Chief Minister replied in the negative. "I can assure you that he will definitely come. However, it will not be possible for him to come by October 2. After all, we also need time to make necessary arrangements for his visit," Rawat said in reply to a question.
